Multicentric Castleman's disease in two cases

Rajni Sharma et al. Indian J Pediatr. 2007 Dec.

Abstract

Castleman's disease is an atypical lymphoproliferative disorder having two types of presentation--the localized and the multicentric form. The localized form presents as a slowly growing mass with a relatively benign course. Multicentric Castleman's disease has a more aggressive clinical course with diffuse lymph node enlargement and systemic illness. It is rarely seen in childhood and only thirteen cases have been reported in literature. This is the first report of 2 cases from the Indian subcontinent with a maximum follow-up of 44 months one of whom had asplenia.
